KPC Poker Jeju 2-Week Countdown: 5 Updates Before the October Series
The KPC Poker October Series begins on October 10 at LES A Casino in Jeju, South Korea . With the 12-day festival approaching, the organiser has announced three Player of the Series races, a two-stage satellite for the USD 15,000 King’s Main Event, and airport transfer arrangements.
The series runs through October 21 and carries a KRW 3.1 billion total guarantee. Its headline events include the KRW 1.3 million KPC Main Event, which has a KRW 880 million guarantee, and the USD 15,000 King’s Main Event beginning October 17.
Players can also save on selected tournaments. Events marked with a gift icon on the schedule offer a 50% discount on admin fees to players who register and take their seats before the scheduled start time.
KPC Poker has also confirmed that its USD 70,000 high roller accommodation package has sold out. A new USD 100,000 package is now available, while players following the festival from elsewhere can watch the scheduled livestreams from October 11 to 21.
$70K High Roller Package Sells Out
The USD 70,000 high roller package, which included accommodation throughout the series, is sold out. KPC Poker has since introduced a USD 100,000 Ultimate Elite Package with a larger tournament allocation and additional benefits.
The new package includes flexible airport transfers outside the standard service dates. Players interested in its full terms and availability should contact KPC Poker VIP Customer Service.

A new Stairs Satellite gives players a two-stage route into the USD 15,000 King’s Main Event. Players who cash in the first stage receive both a ticket to Stage 2 and a cash reward. Those who cash in Stage 2 receive a King’s Main Event ticket and another cash reward.
